As a 10-year Mercer Island resident, I’m honored to be endorsed by a majority of Councilmembers and a broad coalition of community leaders. I’ve earned their trust through my diligent service on local boards and strong volunteer record in our schools and community. I’m committed to a vision where children thrive, families flourish, and seniors age gracefully. With experience as an entrepreneur, family physician, and community leader, I bring a balanced, practical approach to city challenges.

My priorities include public health and safety, preserving parks and open spaces, strengthening community engagement, and revitalizing our town center. I support policies enhancing quality of life for all generations. I value diverse perspectives and lead with integrity, collaboration, and compassion. I’d be honored to earn your vote.

Endorsements: Councilmembers Rosenbaum, Reynolds, Weiker, Weinberg; Former Mayors Wong, Bertlin, Clibborn, Jarrett, Newman; Representatives Zahn and Thai; Sierra Club; Alliance for Gun Responsibility; Eastside Business Alliance

I’m a community-focused former Planning Commissioner running to protect and preserve single‑family neighborhoods, parks, and green spaces. I’ll advocate for reliable infrastructure, safe routes to schools, e‑bike safety enforcement, strong police and emergency services, and robust programs for seniors and families. Mercer Island is where my wife and I are raising our three children.

I support affordable homeownership while preserving neighborhood character. Olympia now mandates fourplexes citywide. City Council, however, controls their size, design, and parking. I’ll prioritize a vibrant Town Center, protecting neighborhoods from oversized buildings and crowded streets. Our infrastructure is at its limits. Unchecked density jeopardizes safety and timely emergency response. With a Ph.D in aerospace engineering, I bring rigorous analysis and resident-focused leadership. I have no real-estate interests influencing my decisions on city planning and development.  

Endorsements: Mayor Salim Nice, Councilmember Anderl, former councilmembers, commissioners, and many Islanders. I’m ready to serve with integrity and focus.
